ALMOST FLETCHER Brook TRAGEDY.
A few days ago man supposed to be
a game warden, while passing through the
woods 10 the east Of the ridge, hearing a
dog in pursuit Of a deer In thicket Of
bushes, stood in an opening with his Win
chester rifle at his shoulder ready 10 shoot
the dog as soon as he broke cover. Hear
ing some one say, don't fire" he looked
to the left of him and there stood the own
er of the dog with rife at his shoulder
covering the warden. They both lowered
their guns and formed a treaty. The man
who owned the dog called him off, returned
to camp and there said, 'If the man had
shot my dog, l would have given him the
contents of my Winchester" The man
is supposed to be game warden in dis.
guise for he shot dog a few DAYS before
in the same locality.
Wednesday it was estimated that from
tifty to hundred men passed here for the
lumber camps and many of them pretty
full with '.tangle toe" They called at most
every house for some cider without pro-
curing a drop, though many houses had it
for family use. Five or SIX called at Cy-
rus Dickeys where there were five small
children alone and gave them quite scare !;
they left the house and took across the
field to near neighbor's more scared than
alive.
Jesse Dunham of Ellsworth, cook for Ell
Dunham, was taken violently sick in camp
yesterday, and was brought out to Mrs
NJ. Foxs house and DIR. Lord at Amherst,
was called who gave him relief and to-day
he is quite comfortable. WAsAw.
